If a person is run over and killed by a drunk driver, it is worse than running a dog-fighting ring and the drunk driver should be punished more severely. There are circumstances for which this may be the opposite, but I’m simply tired of folks on here downplaying drunk driving (not you). Most people on here know someone who was killed by a drunk driver (I do) and it makes me sick that folks can’t take it seriously, just like these 6 or 7 MLB’ers that have been arrested this year. Just wait until the next one when the player ends up with a manslaughter charge and the MLB will start paying attention.

2. UH, I applaud your summary of the cake v. pie debate. Well don.

3. F@ck cake. Pie 4 Life.

However if you are a pie guy then you are now our mortal enemy. Please make sure you announce your allegiances to El Bravo and Jonny 5. I for one will welcome you into the misguided ranks of pie eaters.

U’s Hair: 😉

Wed, 04 May 2011 04:33:18 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=55020#comment-134386Oh, and somewhat incredibly, given how much time I spend on these boards, I’ve never chimed in on the cake-vs.-pie debate, so here goes: Pie owns all cakes, except cheesecake, which we get anyways since, as El Bravo astutely noted, it’s actually a pie, only some cake-eating cretins effed up the proper nomenclature centuries ago. Oh, and nothing goes better with ice cream than warm apple pie.

Wed, 04 May 2011 04:26:58 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=55020#comment-134385Any normal company retains the right to discipline its employees for legal infractions, including DUIs, and that’s without said employee’s public image being an important part of the company’s operations. While I do feel some sort of sentencing guidelines should be collectively bargained with MLBPA, Selig absolutely should have the power to discipline players for driving while intoxicated. And yeah, this is a far greater issue than whether or not somebody might have shot up some PE(maybe)Ds.

Wed, 04 May 2011 02:44:02 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=55020#comment-134369Halladay, it’s an HBT civil war involving several posters that evolved from a post on a slow news day last summer—I think. The gist was a pie vs. cake competition. Cur68, yankeesfanlen and I say cake is better, Jason ‘El Bravo’ Heyward and Jonny 5 say pie wins—and they’re on crack, obviously.

This war is an underlying theme that emerges just about every week in various posts. When asked his opinion in a post a few months back, Craig chimed in at one point with an (I’ll say) offensive [action verb expletive] cake, whereas we all know that you only do that to pie. Of course, he was almost immediately taken to task by somebody—I’m not sure of the offended interloper’s identity—who was not happy with the use of an expletive by the writer of HBT.

Yesterday, heyblueyoustink chimed in that he was partial to ice cream, so the battle seems to be evolving even more.

Do you have a rebuttal or are you just making a blanket statement with no comparisons?

Wed, 04 May 2011 00:23:44 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=55020#comment-134328Well, since you asked, I believe Chase ultimately wants to become pie. As such he uses some pie ingredients in his coiffure in an effort to become what he craves. Not unlike gothy type people will try to look as dark and demonic as possible in an effort to seem more ‘touched by dark forces’. As dark & demonic as a 13 year old boy with black nail polish, lipstick, eyeshadow, white pancake makeup, zit cream, and safety pin piercings can look, that is. I didn’t say this stuff makes sense, you know.

Pie=being humble? Just a guess. Please elaborate…

Chase Utley is not only a pie lover he uses pie ingredients in his hair. Shortening. Which is in pie crust. Bobby Lu uses only whale oil in his.
